    ClassNotFoundException when working with Template

    jrssnyder

      Newbie here,

      I am working on a Win2K system with the jboss-3.0.0_tomcat-4.0.3 package, and am trying to build a simple test case in the Template. It seems that I am getting an incomplete .jar file, which does not contain my classes, and I would greatly appreciate any explanation of what I am doing wrong. JBoss.3.0QuickStart.Draft3.pdf says:

      "Most likely you want to add you own package structure and that is not a problem because under “/main/client”, “/main/ejb” or “/main/servlet” you can use any directory structure you like but must not add client code to another directory than “/main/client” and the same applies for EJBs and servlets."

      So, under the \main\ejb directory, I created com\pc\session\utility. In the utility directory, I have a class called SequenceGeneratorBean.java (code below). Additionally, under the \main\client directory I created com\pc, and in the pc directory I created a class called TestClient.java (code below). I modified the ant.properties file to reflect that I am using Cloudscape as my data source, and to specify the location of my servlet jar file, as follows:

      # Set the DB type mapping (Hypersonic SQL, PostgreSQL etc., see XDoclet's attribute "typemapping")
      type.mapping=Cloudscape SQL
      # Set the DataSource name your are going to use (java:/DefaultDS etc., see XDoclet's attribute "datasource")
      datasource.name=java:/CloudscapeDS
      # Uncomment this and adjust the path to point directly to JAR file containing the servlet classes
      # Attention: By uncommenting this line you start the creation of a WAR file
      servlet-lib.path=C:/Java/jboss/jboss-3.0.0_tomcat-4.0.3/server/all/lib/javax.servlet.jar

      When I ran ant, everything seemed to go OK (see ant output, below). However, in the JBoss monitor window, I got the following errors:
      ***************************
      09:50:28,323 INFO [EJBDeployer]

      [I can provide additional tracing information and additional errors which follow, if it would be helpful.]
      ***************************

      When I ran the run-client.bat script modified to execute com.pc.TestClient, I also got "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/pc/TestClient"
      The only two jar files created when I ran ant were ejb-test.jar and web-client.war. When I un-jarred ejb-test.jar, I found none of the com.pc package anywhere.

      Obviously, I am missing something -- there must be more to coding in the template than just adding subdirectories and creating classes, but I can't seem to find any more detailed documentation. I would be very grateful for any assistance.

      Thanks,

      -- Rick
